I am also a victim of MA not not being on the national license reporting system. But real problems were not here but in Florida. In 2002 I was in a minor accident driving my mom's car while on vacation in Orlando. I was fully covered under her insurance and I paid all tickets from it. My license was from out of state, the car was from out of state and not in my name. Florida being Florida assumed I had no insurance at all. Florida then suspended my driving privileges and never informed me and of course the Mass RMV was never informed . Flash forward to 2008 on another vacation to Florida with my ex wife and then in-laws. I get pulled over for a speeding on the Florida Turnpike. The cop then asks if I was in an accident in Orlando. He said I either didn't have insurance or I didn't pay the ticket and arrests me on the side of the highway. You should have seen the look on in-laws' faces. I spent a lovely night in jail and many new friends. I spent many hours that trip at the Florida 'DMV' to get this cleared up. And still had to make another trip for the court date. When I get home of course I go to RMV because the Florida cops confiscated my license. Of my MA license is perfectly good no record of anything from Florida. So of course they never suspended me. If they had I would have taken care of this years earlier. Of course if FL had talked to MA they would seen that I was in a fully insured car in the first place.

Ok so you’re one of the few people here who have had some inter-state experience with the mass RMV and them not being apart of the national reporting system. My license is currently in Connecticut. We bought our house in Nh just before the pandemic and I put off migrating my license. How disorganized is that system? When I move my license to New Hampshire I’ll have a new license number, new address etc…any chance mass looses connection with my precious issues because of this. This is literally my only issue/interaction with the legal system so excuse my ignorance on how the police and their systems operate. If I were to get pulled over in mass with my new NH license how much information do the police have? There’s no social security numbers on licenses and I have a mildly generic first and last name. Since mass doesn’t get information about licenses and their movement from other states is there a slim chance my issues wouldn’t be detectable? I have no idea what level of information pops up for a police offer when they run a license through their computer. I know it’s a long shot
